** Description changed: + ============ SRU justification =========== + Impact: lxc (by way of lxc-net) fails to start when dnsmasq is installed + Development fix: install a dnsmasq.d file to prevent the system-wide dnsmasq + from binding to lxcbr0 + Stable fix: same as Development fix + Test case: + sudo apt-get purge lxc + sudo apt-get -y install dnsmasq + sudo apt-get -y install lxc + Regression potential: There should be none, since we are simply telling the + system-wide dnsmasq (if any) not to bind to the lxcbr0 which our own dnsmasq + instance will bind to. + ========================================== + If dnsmasq is installed and running as default, it will bind all interfaces. As a result lxc can't run dnsmasq against lxcbr0 (and same with libvirt and virbr0). At the least this should be documented in lxc. Preferably we'd find a way to have dnsmasq be less of a bully.
